The Romney campaign announced its Black Leadership Council, which I considered it’s token offering to the black community, but the leaders of group are a joke — Rep. Allen West, Florida Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll (angered black lesbians over alleged lesbian affair with staffer) and Tim Scott. Please they will bring no black votes to the Romney campaign. He needed more credible black leaders such as former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. Here’s a list of the people on the council:

Mitt Romney polled zero votes from the black community and he will continue to poll those numbers until he disassociates himself from right wing extremists who continue to insult and denigrate President Obama with subtle racist digs. That includes people in his own campaign such as John Sununu and himself. Mia Love is the most credible person on that council, but she is virtually unknown in the black community.

In a recent press release, Romney said, “I am proud to have the endorsements of so many leaders in the black community. They know all too well that the economic downturn that has continued to hammer our country has been even more devastating for black Americans. Together, we will work to end that downturn, and we will not rest until all Americans have the jobs they need, the quality education they are owed, and the opportunities they deserve.” Um, really? What exactly does he plan to do for the black community? Neither Mitt Romney nor President Obama have had any campaign stops in predominantly black communities. So, you can’t just give lip service every time an election rolls around.
